Requests for inappropriate treatment: can a doctor "just say no"? release_gtycx64xavhabfotzhgc2h2t3e

Abstract

This essay examines (1) the underlying philosophical considerations when patients or decision makers request "inappropriate treatment"; (2) questions to consider in determining if the treatment sought would be ineffective, or, in the words of Weijer et al., effective toward a controversial end; and (3) practical ways to resolve such conflicts.
